Question
Hello, A person buys a bottle of water in a store and pays for it, approaches the refrigerator to take the bottle, and accidentally drops a can of another drink. The person looks at the can and sees some damage — not damage that prevents drinking from it, but a small part of the can is dented. How should he act at this point?
Answer
Hello,
If the product is worth less, he should pay for the damage to the store owner. If it is not something that reduces the product's value, there is no need to pay.
According to your description, this is a case similar to the latter, not the former.
